The two people in the car were computer scientists, one of whom went by the name Ophelia Online, and the other was a computer science student named Teresa Youngblood. People online start to pick up that these are people who they've interacted with before, who are members of the rationalist community, who are potentially affiliated with Ziz. And then some dots start to get connected.

So a few days after the shootout, a data scientist, 22-year-old data scientist named Maximilian Snyder, is arrested for the stabbing of Lind in California. And it turns out that Snyder and Theresa Youngblood, the survivor of the border shootout, had applied for a marriage license in Washington state.

Meanwhile, Michelle Zyko, Plum, whose parents had been murdered in a double homicide for which Ziz was briefly detained, is revealed to own property in Vermont not far from the location of the shootout. And then based on some filings by prosecutors in Vermont, she appears to be the person who purchased the guns that Ophelia and Teresa Youngblood used in the shootout.

So at this point, you know, we're looking at a kind of bi-coastal cross-country, you don't want to call it a killing spree because we're talking about over the course of three or four years, but a set of murders that seem to be very clearly connected effectively in the person of Ziz, who is friends and perhaps even a leader of this sort of loose group of suspicious people, I suppose we'd say.

Eventually, in mid-February, Ziz is arrested. So is Michelle Zyko. And so is this person, Daniel Blank. So at this point, I believe all of the Zizians are in custody, almost all of them without bail, awaiting trial on a number of these different crimes. That's where we are right now. That's where we're leaving off with the Zizians.

Everybody involved here will get a trial. Everybody involved here who wants a lawyer will get a lawyer. These folks will go through the justice system. But I wonder, given your reporting, if you have a sense of how much of this is Ziz? Was Ziz calling the shots? Was Ziz ordering her followers to do these things?
